Air Tank Components

Shockkingz stocks a complete selection of air system components for onboard air management systems, air suspension builds, and off-road air supply setups. Every air tank build requires more than just a tank: reliable air tank fittings, a quality air tank drain valve, and a properly rated air tank check valve are what separate a system that holds pressure consistently from one that fails when you need it most. Whether you are building a full air suspension setup from scratch, upgrading an existing system, or replacing worn hardware on a working rig, Shockkingz carries the right air system components to complete the job correctly.

Why Choose Our Air Tank Components

1. Automotive-rated fittings and valves are built to withstand continuous pressure cycles, vibration, and environmental exposure that generic plumbing hardware isn't designed for.

2. Material choice affects reliability brass, stainless steel, and high-grade polymer resist corrosion and wear better under repeated automotive air system use.

3. Components rated specifically for the 150-200 PSI range common in automotive air suspension systems help ensure leak-free connections and consistent performance.

4. Moisture management matters accumulated water inside a tank can cause internal corrosion, seal damage, and system failure if not properly drained.

5. Correctly rated check valves protect compressor life by maintaining stored tank pressure and preventing backflow that forces restarts under load.

Features of Air Tank Components

1. Air tank fittings connect compressors, airlines, and accessories with leak-free, pressure-rated joints, available in NPT thread, push-to-connect, and compression styles.

2. Drain valves remove accumulated moisture before it reaches air bags, airlines, or control valves, with manual and automatic options available.

3. Check valves provide one-way flow control between compressor and tank, maintaining pressure between cycles and reducing compressor strain.

4. Pressure gauges support precise monitoring of tank and system pressure.

5. Manifold blocks and moisture separators help distribute air across multiple air bags for balanced ride height and consistent performance.

6. Air tank components function as part of a broader air suspension setup see our air tanks collection and this related read on how suspension components affect ride quality for more context.

Frequently Asked Questions

An air tank check valve allows compressed air to flow from the compressor into the tank in one direction only, preventing backflow. It protects the compressor from restarting under load and maintains stored pressure between compressor cycles.

An air tank drain valve removes moisture that accumulates inside the tank from compressed air. Without regular draining, water corrodes internal surfaces, damages air bags, and contaminates control valves, leading to costly system failures.

Most air suspension systems use NPT thread or push-to-connect air tank fittings in 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch sizes. The correct size depends on your airline diameter and tank port thread specification. Shockkingz stocks both configurations for the most common builds.

A complete system requires a compressor, air tank, air tank check valve, air tank drain valve, pressure switch, gauge, air tank fittings, and airline. Shockkingz air system components cover all elements, allowing you to source a confirmed compatible build from one supplier.
